FAQs

Q: Why is my DSL light flashing green?

A: A flashing green light indicates that no cable is attached to the DSL port or that the

Motorola Netopia

®

Gateway is negotiating a connection. A solid green DSL light indicates that an internet connection is established.

If your DSL light does not become solid green, verify that the connection from the Motorola Netopia

®

Gateway’s DSL port to the telephone/DSL jack is secure. If the connection is secure, contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to verify that your DSL line is functioning properly.

Q: I forgot my password, how can I access my Motorola Netopia

®

Gateway?

A: If you don't have a password, the only way to access the Motorola Gateway is the following:

Referring to the following diagram, find the round Reset Switch opening.

Carefully insert the point of a pen or an unwound paperclip into the opening.

Factory Reset Switch

Basic Troubleshooting

This section gives some simple suggestions for troubleshooting problems with your Gateway’s initial configuration.

Before troubleshooting, make sure you have

• plugged in all the necessary cables (see

“Connections” on page 4 ); and

• set your PC’s TCP/IP controls to obtain an IP address automatically (see

“Client Configuration” on page 11 ).

The first step in troubleshooting is to check the status indicator lights (LEDs) in the order outlined below.

Possible problems

• Make sure the power switch is in the ON position.

• Make sure the power adapter is plugged into the DSL Gateway properly.

• Try a known good wall outlet.

• Replace the power supply and/or unit.

• Make sure that any telephone has a microfilter installed.

• Make sure that you are using the correct cable. The DSL cable is the thinner standard telephone cable.

• Make sure the DSL cable is plugged into the correct wall jack.

• Make sure the DSL cable is plugged into the DSL port on the DSL Gateway.

• Make sure the DSL line has been activated at the central office DSLAM.

• Make sure the DSL Gateway is not plugged into a micro filter.

Ethernet

1,2,3,4

• Make sure you are using the Ethernet cable, not the DSL cable. The Ethernet cable is thicker than the standard telephone cable.

• Make sure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the Ethernet jack on the PC.

• Make sure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the Ethernet port on the DSL Gateway.

• Try another Ethernet cable if you have one available.

• Make sure you have Ethernet drivers installed on the PC.

• Make sure the PC’s TCP/IP Properties for the Ethernet Network Control

Panel is set to obtain an IP address via DHCP.

• Make sure the PC has obtained an address in the 192.168.1.x range. (You may have changed the subnet addressing.)

• Make sure the PC is configured to access the Internet over a LAN.

• Disable any installed network devices (Ethernet, HomePNA, wireless) that are not being used to connect to the DSL Gateway.
